As our organization has become more complex, our interim Chief Operating Officer (COO) has laid the foundation for the internal infrastructure and team needed to support this exciting growth. With her retirement on the horizon, we are now seeking our next Chief Operating Officer to join our enthusiastic team and continue in this important work.
Our next COO will be a seasoned professional who will be a core member of the Executive Team. They will be responsible for the organization’s overall operations and administration. Guided by core values of equity and impact, they will have a dual focus: (1) leading the design and implementation of infrastructure and systems to support and enhance our current work, and (2) building for the future state and needs of Homebase operations.
This is a dynamic position for a collaborative leader at a flexible, fun, and supportive organization where mission animates everything. This position can be remote or based out of our San Francisco office, with the option for hybrid scheduling, and the COO will report to the Executive Director.
ORGANIZATIONAL OVERVIEW
Homebase’s team of 75+ staff come from diverse backgrounds and bring a variety of life and professional experiences to the table. We are a collective of legal, policy, and subject matter experts who are also data geeks, skilled facilitators, and strategic thinkers and planners dedicated to addressing homelessness and its root causes.
With over three decades of experience in the homelessness response field and expertise that spans disciplines and geographies, Homebase works directly with communities to develop strengths-based, customized responses to their most pressing challenges. We partner with clients in the public, non-profit, and faith-based sectors to identify barriers and key resources, refine their ideas and goals, and design scalable solutions.
We believe that meaningful impact results from robust and intentional collaboration across sectors and systems, cultivation of passionate leaders, and skillful execution of policy and practice to achieve sustainable results. Our approach is focused and practical, but driven by an expansive, long-term vision of system integration and a comprehensive, coordinated response to homelessness and poverty.
Our work requires acknowledging and addressing the fact that people of color, especially Black and Indigenous people, experience homelessness at dramatically disproportionate rates. Recognizing that this is a result of systemic, intersectional inequities, we believe it is crucial as an organization to promote racial equity and anti-racism throughout our work. We are committed to ensuring equal opportunity and a workplace environment that is diverse, equitable, inclusive, and fosters a sense of belonging for all those on our team.
Homebase is powered by knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and forward-thinking people committed to developing a culture of inclusion around our work. We recognize, develop, and empower talent and encourage diversity of thought. Your point of view, skillset and experience will only make us stronger, so if you are a seasoned professional eager to share innovative ideas and try new things, we want to hear from you.

ORGANIZATION
Founded in 1984, Portland Baroque Orchestra (PBO) is one of the oldest period performance orchestras in the United States. PBO specializes in works of the Baroque and Classical eras, but also explores the musical world outside of those time constraints, performing with period instruments or replicas of instruments that were available when the music was composed. This means that our concerts feature familiar instruments that may look or sound a little different (for example, violins with gut strings or flutes made of wood and bone) as well as instruments that are no longer a part of the modern orchestra (like the theorbo). The orchestra thrives on spontaneity, playfulness, and extraordinary artistry. PBO seeks to recreate the soundscapes of history by presenting the highest level of music performance in intimate venues.
In a full season, PBO offers approximately 35-40 events to the public, including concerts, education events, donor engagement events, and more, although that number is currently down as we continue rebuilding from the COVID-19 pandemic. We maintain a high standard for customer service, and we believe that this customer-focused culture engages audiences while attracting and retaining subscribers and donors.
